Methodology
Based on 372 completed North American auction sales from the last 2 years on the online auctions and auction houses we track, priced in US or Canadian dollars. Sales in other currencies are left out, since their prices carry other taxes and duties, and so are fixed-price listings, which record an asking price. Canadian prices are converted to USD. Each price is the median sale, the way our valuations work, and typical ranges show the middle half of sales (25th–75th percentile). The sample is refreshed regularly. A change in the cars sold can change the median without any individual car gaining or losing value.
